Trans-corneal trabeculectomy avoids conjunctival incisions, reducing scarring in glaucoma surgery. This novel approach resulted in minimal inflammation and normal intraocular pressure in most patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Glaucoma Research

Context:

  • Glaucoma surgery failure is often linked to conjunctival and subconjunctival scarring.
  • Conventional fistulizing glaucoma operations carry a risk of cicatrization.
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques are sought to improve outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trans-corneal trabeculectomy.
  • To assess the impact of this technique on conjunctival scarring and inflammation.
  • To determine the postoperative intraocular pressure control in glaucoma patients.

Summary:

  • Trans-corneal trabeculectomy, a novel glaucoma surgical technique, involves removing corneal, partial-thickness scleral, and trabecular tissue, thereby minimizing conjunctival manipulation.

  • The procedure was performed on 15 glaucoma patients, with most exhibiting diffuse filtering blebs.
  • Postoperative assessment revealed minimal conjunctival inflammation, characterized by mild hyperemia on the first day.
  • Intraocular pressure normalized without medication in 14 out of 15 eyes.

    • Impact:

    • Trans-corneal trabeculectomy demonstrates potential as an effective glaucoma treatment with reduced cicatrization.
    • The technique offers a promising alternative for glaucoma management, potentially improving long-term surgical success rates.
    • Minimal conjunctival involvement may lead to fewer complications and better patient outcomes in glaucoma surgery.
